Chapter 37: Deliberations (II)
Everyone was silent.
As we all know, Feng Bo is not a martial artist, but a qi refiner, who is good at using sword qi instead of fists.
Then the owner of this eyeball is most likely Feng Bo.
In other words, Feng Bo saw a fist before he died, and then he was torn apart by a punch.
Zhang Yuelu continued: "Judging from the traces at the scene, Feng Bo did not die from spells, if he died from sword qi, then the fracture of the corpse remains should be relatively smooth and regular, and it will not show this irregular state of shattering, so we believe that Feng Bo died at the hands of a martial artist." After the initial restoration, it should be that the two fought in the air, Feng Bo was broken by a punch, and under the action of the huge force, all kinds of wreckage were scattered in all directions, so the corpse wreckage was so scattered, and even some of the flesh and blood were more than ten miles away. ”
As she spoke, Zhang Yuelu handed over the dossier she had been reading just now to Lei Xiaohuan.
Not only because Lei Xiaohuan is the person presiding over the proceedings, but also because she is the only martial artist among the people here.
Lei Xiaohuan took the file and quickly read it, which was mixed with a large number of photocopies, including pictures of the scene, scenes restored through spells, and rubbings through runes.
Lei Xiaohuan said slowly: "The martial artist in the free stage can't fly, and the two sides can fight fiercely in the air, which shows that at least he is also a martial artist in the immeasurable stage, Feng Bo is only in the free stage, so it is reasonable to be killed." ”
"Martial arts of the immeasurable stage." Li Mingxia subconsciously turned his head sideways and looked at Li Mingcheng next to him.
Li Mingcheng's face was solemn: "A martial artist in the immeasurable stage, this is not a nobody, he must have a lot of fame." It's just that looking at the major secret associations, most of them are mainly witch wishes, fangshi, and qi refiners, and there are very few martial artists, just because the martial artists have the lowest dependence on incense and fire willingness, but there are a lot of martial artists among the men in black, and several major admirals and military chief officers are all genuine immeasurable stage martial artists, could it be that someone in the court has made a move? ”
This is a very basic consensus within the Daomen, Wufu and the secret association are not compatible by nature, and Wuzhu is the other extreme.
"It's not impossible." Lei Xiaohuan said, "After all, it is not the Daomen that hates the 'Heavenly Court' the most, but the imperial court." ”
But this is a point.
The relationship between the Li family and the imperial court is very good, and there are often conflicts between the imperial court and the "heavenly court", which is not contradictory, there is no good enough saying between the major forces to wear a pair of pants, they have the same interests in one aspect, cooperate with each other, and conflict of interests in another aspect, openly and secretly fighting. Fighting but not breaking, harmony and difference, bumping and bumping, and compromising with each other are the norm.
Li Mingcheng and Li Mingzhi coughed lightly in unison and did not express their opinions.
For the big case inside the Daomen, the imperial court scrupulously abides by the agreement between Xuansheng and Gaozu, does not participate, does not ask, and remains neutral.
Therefore, even if the people of the court make a move, and they fight the demons of the secret association, at this time, no one will stand up and admit that they did it, so as not to cause a commotion.
Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "Although there are few martial artists between secret associations, it does not mean that there are no martial artists, the major secret associations are not monolithic, and even alliances are not counted, they are also grabbing territory with each other, fighting for incense, and there are many grievances." It cannot be ruled out that it was other people who secretly formed associations to make the move. ”
Lu Yushu, who had not spoken, took over Zhang Yuelu's words and said: "What Deputy Hall Master Zhang said is extremely true, when it comes to secret associations, you always have to think of the incense wishing power, and when you think of the incense wishing power, it is naturally the three old families: Lingshan Witch Sect, Zhiming Sect, and Purple Light Society. But as far as I know, there is also a secret society, which is strong, not necessarily weaker than the above three, but it is not interested in the incense wish. "Which secret society?" Lei Xiaohuan looked at Lu Yushu.
Lu Yushu glanced at the file in front of Lei Xiaohuan and said, "Qingping Society." ”
Qi Xuansu subconsciously lowered his gaze and wrote the words "Qingping Meeting" on the meeting record.
Judging from the friendship between Qi Niang, Pei Xiaolou and Lei Xiaohuan, the Qingping Society should have some dealings with the Quanzhen Dao, just like the "Heavenly Court" and the Taiping Dao.
Who doesn't have some shady means?
Lu Yushu's words also mean something, and they directly point to the true way.
Lei Xiaohuan did think about fighting ghosts and inviting Zhong Kui to use the power of the Qingping Society to deal with the "Heavenly Court", but before Qi Niang arrived, Feng Bo was already dead, which was also unexpected by her.
Even if Qingping would do it, she wouldn't admit it, let alone if Qingping didn't do it.
Lei Xiaohuan said lightly: "Is there any evidence?" ”
Lu Yushu said: "It's just speculation. ”
"There's no evidence." Lei Xiaohuan said, "If that's the case, there are also many secret associations such as the Eight Ministries, the Seven Treasure Workshop, etc., and they can't all be involved. ”
Qi Xuansu kept recording in his hands, and he didn't miss anything in his ears, but he didn't expect that the wrong inference would lead to a relatively correct result.
Feng Bo was killed by Master Wan.
But Master Wan was invited by Qi Xuansu, and it was reasonable to really count Feng Bo's death on Qi Xuansu's head.
Qi Xuansu happened to be a member of the Qingping Society.
From this point of view, Lu Yushu is not wrong.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously observed Zhang Yuelu with her spare eyes, wanting to see her attitude towards Qingping Society.
Although Zhang Yuelu represented Tiangang Hall, he had no intention of dwelling on the secret association, and said: "It is not the key who Feng Bo died at the hands of whom. ”
Li Mingzhi asked, "According to Deputy Hall Master Zhang, what is the key?" ”
Zhang Yuelu pointed to Ye Xiu's confession: "The real person involved in the confession at the end." ”
Li Mingzhi glanced at Zhang Yuelu deeply: "Does Deputy Hall Master Zhang mean that the investigation team wants the investigation team to invite Li Zhenren, the second deputy head of Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, to come forward and explain some problems?" ”
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "Just do what you do, if Li Zhenren is unwilling to come, we can't force it." ”
At this moment, Lei Xiaohuan said, "I agree with Deputy Hall Master Zhang's proposal. ”
Then she said to Bai Yingqiong: "Bai Zhenren, you are the chief deputy lord of Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, and Li Zhenren, who is the second deputy lord of the province, is a colleague, so please pass it on your behalf and invite Li Zhenren to come here." ”
Bai Yingqiong didn't refuse, got up and said, "Okay." ”
Then came a waiting period.
Everyone was silent.
Some people close their eyes and recuperate, some people are stunned, and some people look down at the files and various documents.
Pei Xiaolou was the most excessive, took out a cedar box, and took out a special tobacco from the New World, about the thickness of an adult man's fingers, because its burning ash is as white as snow, and the tobacco rolls are like eggplant, so it is named "cigar", which is very vivid.
Pei Xiaolou cut one end with his fingernails, and didn't bother to use any matches, so he directly made a small flame on his fingertips, turned the cigar body on the flame constantly and regularly and slightly roasted, and then lit the cigar head evenly.
In the end, Pei Xiaolou took a full breath, and when he exhaled, a layer of smoke immediately floated in the conference room.
If it weren't for Lei Xiaohuan's gaze, he would have almost thrown his feet on the table.
Maritime trade not only brought Western goods, but also brought Western customs, known as "Western learning", that is, the people of Taoism, also affected. Qi Xuansu subconsciously squinted, not very accustomed to this kind of Western goods, because Qi Niang didn't like it, Qi Niang still liked the smoke pot and filled the tobacco leaves by herself.
Because Qi Xuansu was close to Pei Xiaolou, this cloud of smoke also shrouded Qi Xuansu, which gave Qi Xuansu an opportunity to stare at Zhang Yuelu openly.
At this time, Zhang Yuelu was thoughtful, and her eyes were fixed on the front.
After an unknown time, Bai Yingqiong pushed the door in first.
Everyone looked up.
The cigarette in Pei Xiaolou's hand also stopped there, and then directly extinguished it with his fingers.
"Li Zhenren has arrived." Bai Yingqiong said.
Lei Xiaohuan slowly stood up, and the rest of the people also got up, after all, they were all colleagues at the same level, and it was also a courtesy to get up to greet them.
After Bai Yingqiong, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest dressed in a second-grade Taiyi Taoist suit, wearing a lotus crown and wearing a wisdom sword walked in and bowed to everyone first.
Including Lei Xiaohuan, they all returned the salute to this person.
This Li Zhenren didn't have any expression on his face, and said, "Don't dare to be." "Walked into this place.
After the seven deputy hall masters and this Li Zhenren took their seats, the rest of the auditors, including Qi Xuansu, sat down.
Bai Yingqiong and Li Zhenren are colleagues, so she introduced: "Some of you here have known Li Zhenren for a long time, such as the two Deputy Hall Masters Li, and some people are meeting for the first time, such as Senior Sister Zhang. Let me introduce that Li Zhenren is the eldest generation of the Tianzi generation in the Li family, and he is in the world. This junior sister of mine is the favorite disciple of the family teacher, and she is also a talent valued by both the heavenly master and the earth master. ”
The two looked at each other.
Zhang Yuelu took the lead and said: "Long admiration, Li Zhenren." ”
Li Tianlan smiled slightly: "Fortunately." ”
There is no doubt that Li Tianlan is the kind of absolute veteran with rich qualifications, judging from Li Mingzhi and Li Mingcheng's attitude towards him, even in the Li family, he is also a pivotal figure.
As for why he is only second, and Bai Yingqiong is the chief, the reason is also very simple, the Jiangnan Provincial Government wants a balance of the three realms, if Li Tianlan is placed in the position of the lord or chief of the mansion, with his seniority and prestige, it is too strong, and the balance will be broken. Put him in the second position, and balance his own qualifications and prestige through the suppression of the position, but it can form three balances.
And Li Tianlan and Zhang Yuelu also formed a very strong contrast, one is old and the other is young, just like changing the Daomen, it is always the young party that is ruthless to the old people.
However, there is still a faction of prime age between the old and the young, Lei Xiaohuan and Pei Xiaolou are the leaders of this faction, and at this time, Lei Xiaohuan spoke: "The reason why we invited Li Zhenren to come over must have been explained clearly to Li Zhenren, and Li Zhenren should have a lesson." ”
Li Tianlan replied slowly: "The old man does know this man named Ye Xiu, and he does help the old man take care of some industries. After all, before Xuansheng had Zhongxing Daomen, the Li family was already a big family, and the old man, as a child of the Li family, relied on the family property passed down by his ancestors, and had some idle Taiping money in his hand, which was used to buy some properties in Jinling Mansion, not stealing, not occupying, not robbing, and not greedy, it shouldn't be considered a bad rule, right? ”
"Of course not." Lu Yushu immediately spoke, she represented Fengxiantang, and she had the most say in this regard.
Li Tianlan said again: "As for what business Ye Xiu is doing with other people, and what they do, the old man doesn't know anything and has no way to take care of it." After all, Ye Xiu is not the old man's house slave, and our Daomen does not have this kind of personal dependence of the master-slave relationship. The old man and Ye Xiu are just cooperative, he helps the old man take care of the industry, and the old man gives him some dividends, that's all. ”
